Gridcoin is a cryptocurrency with ambitions of advancing scientific research. It was originally a simple hybrid of proof of work and proof of stake but now has developed its own custom mechanism blending elements of the two. New coins are created using Proof of Stake, but the number of new coins created depends on how much processing power was used for BOINC.
HolyTransaction Wallet is excited to present to you the launch of our new staking service. You can now leverage Proof of Stake (POS) holdings to safeguard crypto networks while earning financial rewards. Staking GRC has become much easier with HolyTransaction!
According to the PoR mechanism, If a node contributing its hash power to a project that has been whitelisted on the Berkeley Open Infrastructure of Network Computing (BOINC), that node will receive GRC coins corresponding proportionally with the amount of the work done by the node. The BOINC list contains projects of scientific importance that require a supercomputer but don’t have access to one. Of these projects, Gridcoin users vote on a subset of them to be whitelisted for contributions of computing power. Gridcoin, therefore, gives people all over the world the ability to contribute computing power to any of these projects and contribute to scientific research. You can also generate income by running Gridcoin in what the Gridcoin project calls “investor-only mode.”
Investor-only mode is what the Gridcoin project calls it when you setup earns proof of stake interest as opposed to the DPOR (proof of research) payments that “crunchers”—those who contribute computing power receive. You will only need to install the Gridcoin client and will not need the BOINC client.
The first step to setting up a Gridcoin client for investor-only mode is to install the Gridcoin Research client. The client is available for Windows, macOS, and several flavors of Linux including Debian, Arch Linux, OpenSUSE, and Fedora. Once the client has been installed, you will want to sync with the Gridcoin blockchain. This can take between several hours to a couple of days, depending on your internet speed. A green check on the connection bar indicates that the synchronization is complete. At that point, you can unlock your wallet for “staking only.” It can take up to 16 hours for the staking to begin. Running the Gridcoin client at all times maximizes your potential for income. Anytime the client is offline, you could miss an opportunity to mint a block.
The higher the balance you have, the higher the chances that you will get to “stake” a block. This is only a result of the fact that a higher balance gives you more chance to mint Pos blocks and thus you get a payout more often. While you can theoretically stake with any number of coins, you can only reliably stake with at least 2000 coins and the Gridcoin project itself recommends at least 5,000. The miners who contribute computing power to these projects come in two varieties—solo and pool. Pool miners earn research rewards whether they stake or not, but solo miners must stake in order to get paid.
Gridcoin provides a way to contribute to important scientific research and earn passive income while doing so. Even those who only stake coins and don’t provide actual computing power to these projects contribute by securing the network and helping the Gridcoin ecosystem. All you need to start staking Gridcoin is to deposit GRC in your HolyTransaction account.
